    Our voice makes sound through a process involving several parts of the body, primarily the vocal cords, lungs, and articulators. Here’s how it works:

    1. Breathing: Sound production begins in the lungs, where air is inhaled and then pushed out.

    2. Vocal Cords: The air travels up through the trachea (windpipe) and passes through the larynx (voice box), where the vocal cords are located. When air flows through the closed vocal cords, they vibrate, creating sound waves.

    3. Resonance: The sound produced by the vibrating vocal cords is then shaped by the throat, mouth, and nasal passages. These areas act as resonating chambers, amplifying and modifying the sound.

    4. Articulation: Finally, the tongue, lips, and palate help form the sounds into recognizable speech by altering the shape and flow of the sound as it exits the mouth.

    This coordinated action allows us to produce a wide range of sounds and speech patterns!
